This sumptuous coat has all the richness and romance of oriental rugs and textiles. The large-scale all-over pattern, inspired by Ikat-weave velvet, is knitted in luxurious soft mohair; double-knit wool is used for cuffs and borders whose smaller, more detailed Fair Isle pattern suggests intricate embroidery.
